Two more international flights from Nagpur

Nagpur: Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel flagged off two international flights - to Doha and Dubai - from Dr. Ambedkar International Airport here Monday, further boosting the ongoing multi-modal international hub airport at Nagpur (MIHAN) project.
While Qatar Airways will operate its Nagpur-Doha flight twice a week using a 144-seater Airbus 320 aircraft, Air India Express will operate its Mumbai-Nagpur-Dubai flight thrice a week with a 188-seater Boeing 737-800 aircraft, Patel told reporters after flagging off the flights.
Patel said the National Aviation Company of India's (the company formed after the merger of Air India and Indian Airlines) cargo hub would also start functioning from Nagpur from Dec.
The city airport, which so far had only two international flights - to Sharjah and Bangkok - is poised to host many more global airliners operating their services from here in the near future, thanks to the tremendous interest MIHAN and the Special Economic Zone (SEZ) are generating the world over.
